Updating Foresight Analytics Platform

Each time the new version of Foresight Analytics Platform is delivered, it is required to update the current version of BI server and web application back end. Using the distributions: foresight-fp10.x-biserver*.deb/rpm, foresight-fp10.x-webserver*.deb/rpm in Linux OS and FP10BIServerIIS_x64.exe, FP10WebServer.exe in Windows OS, one can update BI server and web application back end within the same release. Each user must manually start update process on the local computer.

IMPORTANT. Simultaneous use of the new and the previous version of Foresight Analytics Platform is impossible starting with the version 9.4.

Before executing update create a copy of the database and the current server, on which the new web application version is to be updated and tested. Make sure that all users are disconnected from the repository, and access to Internet is allowed. BI server and web application back end are updated by the user who is a local computer administrator.

To update the installed extensions: Calculation Algorithms, Business Process Management, Interactive Data Entry Forms, Designer of Business Applications, Cube Cache, see the Updating Extensions section.

To update metadata repository version, see the Updating Metadata Repository Version section.
